Sexey’s School at Bruton saw 41 per cent of students achieving A*-A grades – the highest percentage ever seen at the school - and an uptick of 6% on last year – 69% achieving A*-B, and 88% achieving A*-C grades.

Headmaster Irfan Latif said: “In a climate where financial pressures on education are especially great, I am so proud of our students and teachers for achieving another year of record-breaking results. They are testament to the outstanding teaching that our students receive here at Sexey’s, with staff going above and beyond to help our students achieve their very best. My huge congratulations go to our students, who have demonstrated their ability to prepare themselves so well for their examinations - and by extension, their future lives both at university and in industry. We wish them all the very best for their future.”
